BONITA SPRINGS, FL -- (Marketwire) -- 10/18/11 -- EyeMD EMR Healthcare Systems, Inc. (EyeMD EMR), a leading provider of Electronic Medical Records software designed specifically for the Ophthalmology Specialty, announced today that their first user has achieved Meaningful Use, and has already received payment for their first 90 day reporting period.

"Dr. David Tran & Dr. Lani Vu of A Better Vue Eye Physicians has been a valuable asset to EyeMD EMR since the first day they signed on as a client," said Abdiel Marin, President of EyeMD EMR Healthcare Systems, Inc. "Their selfless dedication to both their patients and the advancement of the Ophthalmic Specialty has helped propel EyeMD EMR to higher levels of functionality and usability over the last few years. The fact that they were the first of many of our users to achieve Meaningful Use is not surprising to us, and we sincerely congratulate them."

"We could not be any happier with our EMR system," said Dr. David Tran, Ophthalmologist for A Better Vue Eye Physicians. "We abandoned our previous EMR system because it could not compare with the functionality and efficiency of EyeMD EMR. We've found EyeMD EMR to be a pleasure to use, and we can now focus our attention on our patients." Dr. Tran went on to say "The Meaningful Use Incentive was never a motivation for adopting EyeMD EMR as we found the value of EyeMD EMR in its usability and ease of customization. However, because Meaningful Use seemed so easy to achieve with EyeMD EMR, we gave it a try and achieved Meaningful Use with very little effort. We plan to use the unexpected re-imbursement to purchase new diagnostic equipment."
